Hey, gang! This is yet another "tell me what to buy" inquiry. I'm looking for a back pack to lug my gear around. Until recently I had been happy with shoulder bags, but the death march up Grandfather mountain last spring convinced me otherwise. I'm looking for something with padded straps. Chest and waist straps would be nice, too. Lash points for accessory bags and a tripod are a must. The pack should be able to accommodate the following three loading scenarios (one at a time, of course): 1. 35mm rig. Two bodies, 3 or 4 lenses, gadgets (filters, etc.) and a whole lotta film. 2. P645 and 3 or 4 lenses, more gadgets, lots of film and between 2 and 4 film inserts. 3. 4x5 field camera (OK, it's really a Crown Graphic with all the extra crap stripped off), 6 to 12 film holders, up to 2 additional lenses (I only have one right now), light meter, 35mm body and one zoom lens.
My current front-runner is the f.64 BP (not the BPX). I think this bag may do the trick, especially if I add a couple pouches for film. Plus, it comes with two pouches for 4x5 holders. http://www.f64camerabag.com/backpacks.html http://www.bhphotovideo.com/bnh/controller/home?O=productlist&A=details&Q=&sku=91692&is=REG Any thoughts? I'd love to hear them.
